The Little Details-BLACK SUGAR PEARLS=eyes

 If you're a cookier,

 you know that the little details can really be a life-saver when decorating.

It can be a technique,

it can be a tool,

OR

it can be these little treasures!

Black. Sugar. Pearls.

LOVE these!

Until a year ago, I would just add eyes using black icing.

If you know me, you know I hate dislike black icing.

So then my wonderful friend Kris from  So Cute Cookies

introduced me to these. 

 I was hesitant to use them because 

I figured they'd bleed just like the icing eyes (my way of adding eyes) sometimes did.

Then I tried them.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Another favorite thing of mine.

I heart BLACK SUGAR PEARLS from CK.

(I've heard that the Wilton ones bleed--I've never tried them)

You can buy them at Karen's Cookies.

If you see them, buy them because sometimes they're hard to find.

I just might need to try all of the other colors too!

When I used them for the above cookies, 

I placed them right where I wanted them to be 

so they sink right into the icing while it's still wet.
